- Age U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players
Setup
Four cones are set up as specified. The starting cone with ball, like the other three cones, is occupied by one player.
Procedure
A opens the passing exercise with a long, low ball to D. At the moment of the pass, A starts on a semicircular running path to B's cone position, while B simultaneously makes a short, straight sprint to A's cone and takes his position. Player D now passes A's ball directly back into A's run, then moves toward point X, where he receives the pass from A and directly plays the ball on to B. D and C switch positions. Player B starts the same passing combination, etc. Principle: Long ball – give-and-go – through pass
Tip
First, practise the passing exercise slowly, then increase the passing tempo. The ball-expecting players always make a preparatory movement. A dynamic jump step sideways or backward, then moving toward the pass. The exercise is enormously running-intensive at fast execution speeds with only four players. - Under time pressure, a very demanding, game-like passing game is required. - The ball-expecting players call for the ball with a verbal cue. - Pass timing and start timing are decisive. - Often the players run faster than they pass or vice versa. - Do not forget the running path. - Demand pass sharpness and accuracy. - Accuracy before speed. - Concentration must be maintained. - The players need some time to memorise the exercise sequence. - Good ball security and combination play are the goals. - Anticipation, perception, reaction, movement and action speed with and without the ball are constantly demanded. - 4 cones
